Product Description
Methyl Cellulose (High Viscosity) 4000 CPS is a solid, non-poisonous polymer classified as cellulose ether. It is widely used in construction (cement-based applications), tile adhesive, pharmaceutical formulations, and food thickening. With a neutral pH level, it exhibits high viscosity and is soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. This industrial-grade product, commonly known as MC Cellulose Methyl Ether, serves as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer in various industries due to its purity of 99% and odorless nature. It comes in powder or granules form, with a molecular weight that varies depending on the polymerization degree.
